My first robot..........

By networkzombie

So I've decided to build my first robot which not the LMR "start here" one (that one is going to be my second one) and im using this circuit- http://costaricabeam.solarbotics.net/Circuits/Vores/555%20Photovore.png . I've tried about 10 different designs for the body but its just not working. When i cover the left photocell with my hand and the other one is exposed to light the speed of the motors is the same and same with the right photocell. has anyone tried the circuit? did it work?

Run away robot

By slowslow325

December 20, 2008
I don't have a enough skill to do it, yet, but it would be cool for one of you to make a robot that runs away and hides.  I was thinking you could make it go to the darkest part of the room and wait until it hears sound coming to it (with several mics pointing in each direction) and run away from it.  Or just one that hears and runs away.
